What are your general comments?
I thought the interview was fairly relaxed for med school interviews (I don't have much to compare it to, this was my first interview). They did not blast me with questions and genuinely seemed to want to get to know me. None of the questions were attacking or too tough to handle. All of the specific questions came from my personal statement and resume, fairly easy to talk about.

Why osteopathic medicine and why AZCOM?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed my apps, resume, and looked over school website and SDN.
What was the most difficult question?
Ethical type question about a sexually active 14 year old girl seeking contraceptives...what do you do?
What impressed you positively?
They are expanding their facilities including a new auditorium, gym, dental clinic and other buildings
What impressed you negatively?
The tour guide was not overly impressive...he took us through some construction areas and did not seem excited about showing off the school to prospective students. Also, lots of construction, but that should be wrapped up be the start of next school year
